Cigarette No.16 — an expressive unisex fragrance
Cigarette No.16 is an eau de parfum by MYND, released in 2021. This is a unisex fragrance with character: smoky, spicy and woody, with noticeable amber depth and a very powerful sillage.
MYND is a Thai perfume brand, and Cigarette No.16 showcases its interest in rich, textured compositions that do not fade into the background.
In olfactory terms, the fragrance belongs to the fougère and woody families.
It combines citrus freshness, dry spices, aromatic herbs, tobacco-balsamic nuances and a warm woody-ambery base.
This combination makes the composition distinctive and multifaceted: it is better suited to those who enjoy characterful fragrances with a confident presence than to fans of light, almost weightless accords.
How the composition unfolds
Cigarette No.16 opens with a sparkling, spicy effect: citrus facets of grapefruit and bergamot meet anise, cardamom and clove.
Soon, the freshness becomes drier and more aromatic, giving way to clary sage, lavender and geranium.
The heart is supported by honey, jasmine, labdanum, Iso E Super and tobacco, which give the fragrance a warm, slightly smoky and enveloping character.
The drydown is built around amber, ambroxan and cedar, joined by patchouli, vanilla and vetiver.
The base is dense, long-lasting and highly noticeable in the air, while the woody and ambery accents preserve the composition’s expressiveness after the initial spicy-citrus notes fade.
The way it develops may vary depending on skin temperature, weather and the amount applied, so it is best to start by testing a small amount.
Character and wearability
Its very powerful sillage makes Cigarette No.16 a fragrance for situations when you want to make an impression.
It feels particularly at home in cool weather, in the evening, on a walk, at a meeting or an atmospheric event where a rich woody-spicy composition is appropriate.
In a hot room, the fragrance may seem especially intense, so restraint is more important here than sticking to your usual number of sprays.
The fragrance is presented as unisex and is not tied to any particular style or age.
On some skin, dry spices, tobacco and vetiver will be more prominent; on others, honeyed amber softness, vanilla and woody molecules will stand out.
This very versatility makes it interesting to discuss: Cigarette No.16 can reveal different facets depending on its wearer.
Dosage and concentration
Cigarette No.16 is available as an eau de parfum.
The manufacturer has not provided precise recommendations for the number of sprays on skin or clothing in the available information. However, given its very powerful sillage, it is sensible to start with a minimal amount and add more later if needed.
Before applying it to fabric, test its reaction on an inconspicuous area.
No information is available about other concentrations of this release or its perfumer.
It is therefore more accurate to assess Cigarette No.16 by its actual note pyramid: a spicy opening, an aromatic heart with a tobacco accent and a rich ambery-woody base create its distinctive identity.
Similar fragrances to explore
If you would like to compare Cigarette No.16 with other rich compositions, options with a similar overall oriental-woody mood include Nabeel Mukhallat Malaki, The Spirit of Dubai Oud and Nabeel Acqua di Nabeel Absolute.
They can help you understand which direction suits you best: spicier, resinous, woody or ambery.
